Privacy Policy

Ask Jesus Clearly is a public educational website. Visitors can read its published pages without creating an account or providing a name.

Limited technical information is processed whenever a browser requests a webpage. Optional Google Analytics information is processed only after a visitor selects Accept analytics.

The website uses Google AdSense code for site verification, review, and potential advertising. Google-served ads may appear after approval and may use cookies or similar technologies as described below.

Ask Jesus Clearly does not currently sell personal information, accept payments, or operate a public AI conversation service.

Ask Jesus Clearly uses Google Analytics 4 to understand general readership patterns and improve website navigation, performance, and published content.

Google Analytics remains disabled unless a visitor chooses Accept analytics through the privacy banner. Choosing Decline prevents the Analytics tag from loading.

When analytics is accepted, Google Analytics may process:

The website does not intentionally send names, email addresses, AI questions, private messages, payment information, or other directly identifying form information to Google Analytics.

Google may receive an Internet Protocol address temporarily to deliver Analytics, detect abuse, route data, and derive a general geographic area. Raw Internet Protocol addresses are not available to Ask Jesus Clearly through Analytics reports.

Google processes Analytics information under its own terms, privacy policies, security practices, and data controls.

Ask Jesus Clearly uses Google AdSense code to connect the site with Google, complete site review, and potentially display advertisements after approval.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on a visitor's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and other sites on the Internet.

Depending on consent, regional requirements, browser settings, and AdSense configuration, ads may be personalized, non-personalized, or limited. Non-personalized ads may still use contextual information such as the current page, general location, browser, or device type.

When AdSense is active, Google and participating advertising providers may process:

Visitors may opt out of personalized advertising through Google's Ads Settings. Visitors may also use applicable industry opt-out tools and browser controls to manage advertising cookies.

Ask Jesus Clearly does not intentionally provide names, email addresses, contact-message text, payment information, or AI questions to AdSense for ad personalization.

After analytics consent is granted, Google Analytics may use first-party cookies named _ga and _ga_<container-id> to distinguish pseudonymous visitors and maintain session information.

The site stores the visitor's analytics choice in browser local storage so the analytics banner does not need to appear during every page visit. That stored choice records whether analytics was accepted or declined.

Google AdSense and participating advertising providers may use cookies, local storage, pixels, or similar technologies to deliver ads, limit repetition, detect invalid traffic, measure performance, and personalize advertising where permitted.

Google may present advertising privacy choices separately through its consent system where applicable. Those choices are separate from the site's analytics preference.

Visitors can reopen the site's analytics banner from this Privacy page by using the Change analytics choice control.

Browser settings may also be used to inspect, block, or delete cookies and local storage. Blocking these technologies does not prevent visitors from reading the public pages, although it may affect measurement, ad selection, or other optional features.

Hosting, network, browser, deployment, diagnostic, and security systems may process limited technical information whenever a visitor requests a page.

When a contact method is available and a visitor voluntarily sends a message, the information may include an email address, message text, and other details the visitor chooses to provide.

Provide only the information reasonably necessary for the request. Do not send passwords, payment information, government identification numbers, private medical records, counseling records, or other highly sensitive information.

The Contact page identifies whether direct contact is currently available and which method may be used.

Ask Jesus Clearly does not currently provide a public AI conversation service or transmit visitor questions to an AI provider.

Before an AI feature launches, this policy will be updated to explain what question text is transmitted, which providers receive it, how long it may be retained, and what safety review may occur.

The website relies on hosting, deployment, domain, network, security, analytics, consent-management, and advertising providers to operate.

Those providers may process limited information needed to deliver their services, serve and measure ads, secure infrastructure, diagnose failures, comply with legal obligations, and prevent abuse.

Published guides may also link to Bible resources, government agencies, professional organizations, research publications, and other external websites. Those websites maintain their own privacy policies and security practices.

Technical logs may be retained according to operational, diagnostic, security, contractual, and legal requirements.

Google Analytics data is retained according to the settings of the Analytics property and Google's applicable policies.

Advertising information is retained according to Google's and participating advertising providers' applicable settings, policies, security practices, and legal obligations.

Messages voluntarily sent to the site may be retained while they are reviewed, answered, documented, or reasonably needed for security or recordkeeping.

Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards should be used, but no website, email system, Internet transmission, or storage method can be guaranteed completely secure.

The website is a general educational resource and is not designed to collect personal information from children under 13.

Children should not submit names, addresses, school information, phone numbers, private photographs, precise locations, medical records, or other personal information.

A parent or legal guardian who believes information from a child has been received may use the Contact page to request review and appropriate deletion.

This policy may be revised when website features, providers, data practices, consent procedures, security practices, or legal requirements change.

The updated version will be published on this page with a revised date.

Use the Contact page to report a suspected privacy problem, request review of information previously provided, or ask a question about this policy.
